uThe Modern Parnn.D

The lecture of Gen. George A. Sheridan,
entitled "The Modern Pagan" presented
fair statement OF the opinions and sup
piled an eloquent refutation Of the utter
ances of Col. Robert G. Ingersoll relative
to Christianity.
Colonel lngersoll professedly an agnos-
uc-afllrming that he knows nothing of
God whatever, believes nothing, and cares
nothing. Pursuing this line of thought in
bis lectures, he distorts the Christian scrip
lures, burlesques the Christian system,
caricatures the Christian God, derides
Christian fears and hopes, and suggests
that the world would be wiser, better, and
happier If God were not in 1t. Referring
the formal statement and defense OF the
Christian system to the clergy, General
Sheridan assumed the offensive and gave
his audience pungent Characterization
OF the methods, searching analysis
Of the conclusions, and an impress
sive presentation of the mischiefs of
Ingersollism. lie recognized the power
ful and elevating presence of Christianity
In human progress, and contemplated the
best civilization as its expression and con-
cretion, and created a profound apprecia
tive presumption in favor of its divinity and
authority. He, as one, who stood In the
beneflcent light that quickened and
cheerod humanity, and felt the influences
of those mighty moral forces that were
moving the world upward and forward,
entered his protest against the philosophy
that teaches "eat, drink, and be merry, for
tomorrow you die,n as the exhaustive and
sufficient conception of life. The lecturer
indicated just appreciation OF the pre-.
cious things for whose defense be stood, AMI
very felicitously applied to Ingersoll-
ism the same methods that had
been previously used by their authors in
assailing the beliefs of the Christian world.
Gen. Sheridan possesses, in remarkable
measure, the elements of popular oratory,
and in personal presence, voice, command
of language, fertility Of fancy, sense OF
hunor, logical force, and hstronic power,
is admirably equipped for the work he has
undertaken. His lecture In subject, treat
ment, and authorship is a notable event.
Fruitful and brilliant in thought, and elo.
quent in expression, he always instructs
and holds his audiences, and those VIII
hear him will carry with them higher
idea Of the beauty, dignity, and grandeur o
life and the conviction that 1t is worth
living wisely and well.

Thomas Jefferson as a Nailmaker.

Thomas Jefferson was probably the first
cut nail manufacturer in the United States,
his nail works being on his place at Month
cello, and producing eighty pounds Of nails
each working day. The first American
patent issued was one for cutting nails.
The patent was issued Jan. 16, 1895, to
Jacob Perkins, and second one for the
same purpose was given to Josiah G.. Pier
son on the 25th OF March, the same year.
1t is probable that it was under one OF
these patents that jefferson manufactured
the Monticello nails, which he sold at varl-
GUS points in Virginia through agents at
from thirteen to seventeen cents per pound.
We have no record Of the establishment of
nail works prior to that started by Jeffer-
son, and it is probable that Virginia and
this distinguished son of Virginia can claim
the honor of having been the first 10 nail
making, as the state was first in iron max
ing ana coal mining.
From the little fountain head at Month
day, or twenty-five thousand pounds per
year, there has grown up au immense bust
ness in nail. making. Four thousand ma.
| chimes, handled by freemen, have taken the
places Of Jeilersou's slaves, and they turn
! out hro htaRrcl and ScrcHty.irc Hovsa,,,l
tons Of nails per year, worth eighteen
million dollars.
There is considerable difference in the
| price, as well as In the quantity, of the nails
made in 1896 and in 1856. jefferson sold
his ten.penny nails at fifteen cents per
| pound, but the nail-maker now only gets
two and half cents per pound.
Virginia, as In everything else, fell be-
bind in nail making, producing only 5000
out Of the ESQ 900 tons made iu 1850, while
Pennsylvania made $1,000 tons, and Vir-
| ginia's youngest child, West Virginia, was
next on the list and produced $1,000 tons
| Virginia should wake up from its long
| sleep-and 1t seems to be moving as If tht
| drowsiness was passing from It's eyes-and
en6eavor to regain some of its lost prestige
Let it come as ga giant refreshed" aud re
deem itself. Jefferson, one of the creates
OF Virginians, as a manufacturer, as well q.
jefferson the politician, should be adopted
as Its new model and the material interests
Of the state be looked after.

DR.. Sower,s Advice Taken.


Washington Dispatch to the Globe Democrat. ]
Private Secretary Lamont, In one of his
semi.oiiicial interviews, said yesterday that
there was no occasion for alarm about the
Presidents physical condition; that he
really took more exercise than was gen.
orally known, and quite enough to insure
good bodily health. There the discreet
Daniel stopped. lie did not tell what is
true-that the President has had rigged up
In an unused room in the executive mansion
private gymnasium. The apparatus is
not elaborate, but 1t is Of the right sort, and
for month the President has had almost
daily practice. His instructor is an English.
man, well known about town, and now
holding subordinate position in the geo
logical survey.
The engagement came about through
Secretary Lamar and Secretary Bayarj,
who have both at times taken boxing les
sons from the Englishman. The President
contided to them his gymnasium idea, and
they at once recommended the instructor.
One part of the apparatus consists OF ropes
suspended from the ceiling, with large
rings at the ends The rings the President
can just reach by raising on his toes. lie
grasps them and sways forward and back.
ward until he has to let 90 for breath.
The room also contains horizontal bar,
on which the President swings by holding
up his feet. His favorite practice, how
ever, is with the boxing gloves, the bouts
being interspersed with the one, two, three,
four calisthenics. The gymnasium hour
became regular part OF the white house
routine four weeks ago, just about the tis1e

last time. From 8 to & in the afternoon IL

the morning since he began to feel the good
effects OF the exercise. He has cut down

The talk in the newspapers about con-
templated designations OF consular officers
all along the line on account of the reduc-
tion In salaries made by Congress at the
last session seems to be greatly exagger.
Hted, and has no solid foundation In fact.
AS iar as can be learned at the State Depart.
ment there have been no designations thus
far on account of the action Of Congress.
The consuls at some Of the more important
places have indicated in their correspond
cnce their intention Of sending their fam
iliGs home, owing to their inability to sup
IOt them on the limited compensation
allowed. This state Of things is to be re-
gCttCd. The United States should pay its
consular officers sufficiently well to enable
ihlm TO KEEP their families with them. II
Is AN open question If tins purpose is car.
lied out whether the consuls themselves
will find their lonely life sufficiently agree
able to tie them to their posts for their full
term. However, It is not to be inferred for
u moment that the consular service is 10 be
broken up by wholesale designations. The

POSTAL convention has been substNu.
TALLY concluded with the Republic OF
Mexico, under which letter postage to and
from Mexico and the United States will be
reduced from five to two cents. The Post.
Office Department has already received
copy of the convention, and is prepared to
carry 1t into effect. 1t appears from the
records that the amount of mail matter for
Texas and Mexico has increased from Il
daily average Of 1,072 pounds in 1881, be-
fore the railroad to Mexico was opened, to
an average of 4,2ll pounds daily in 1885,
Part Of this increase ia, of course, charge,
able TO the development of Texas, but it
also indicates the growing nature Of our
commercial intercourse with Mexico. This
is further manifested by the great increase
in the consular fees reported to the fifth
auditor as collected on imports from McXtco

New DesIgns Tor Postage STAMINA

The Postoflice Department officials are
having prepared series of new designs of
embossed stamps for stamped envelopes Of
the one, two, four, and five cent denomi-
nations. The head of Franklin has been
selected for the one cent stamps, and the
heads Of Washington, Jackson, and Grant
for the two, four. and five cent denomina-
tons respectively. The general design of
the new series is uniform. On the upper
side and following the oval shape OF the
stamp is the legend "United States Post
age" instead OF "U. S. Postage" as on the
stamp now in use. This new series will be
ready for issue about May /. The border
of the one cent adhesive stamp has been
slightly modified to conform to the design
Of the two cent stamp.

FOOD ADULTERAT1oNs
The Public Has Power in Its Hands to
Effect Reform.

The chemists Of the department Of agri-
culture, under direction Of the comm,-
sioner, have for year or more been inves-
tigatiDg the xtent and manner OF food
adultcration practiced in this country, and
report covering several branches OF the
work is in process Of preparation. That
portion relating to spices and condiments
prepared by Mr.. Clifford Richardson is al
ready completed. Mr.. Richardson's inves.
legations show that no other kinds OF human
food are adulterated to such an extent. or
twenty samples OF ground cloves only two
were pure. The others had suffered the ex.
traction Of their essential oils, and had
been polluted by the addition OF Glove stems,
allspice, and husks OF various kinds. OF
eight samples of Cayenne pepper only one
was pure.
OF ten samples of mustard none were
pure unchanged mustard, though several
had only suffered the loss OF their fixed oil;
the others contained quantities of wheat
flour, the spurious matter being in some
cases twothirds Of the compound. This
made II necessary to add tumerlc acid
(harmless) to restore the mustard color.
Ten samples Of allspice were examined,
eight of which were pure. Four samples of
cassia were all pure. OF ten samples OF
| ginger four were pure. Only one out
| of thirteen samples OF black pepper was
| found to be what IL purported to be. A
| specimen sent from Baltimore to mau who
had an army contract was almost entirely
| spurious. Cayenne pepper, black pepper
| husks, and mustard hulls were used to give
flavor and pungency, while "body" was
supplied by ground beans and rice and
color by charcoal. Two samples of white
pepper out of five were pure; two samples
Of mace out Of five were pure, aud OF three
samples OF nutmeg examined all were pure.
Mr.. Richardson's experience leads to th'
conclusion that the public has the power
In Its own hands to effect reform 10 the
matter Of spice adulteration. The quality
Of the article is usually fixed by the re.
taller, who names the price he is willing to
ray. The grinder thereupon estimates the
amount Of the pure spice he can afford to
put in, and fllls out the order with refuse
MIR. Richardson incidentally mentions q
New York spice grinder who within short
time worked off 5000 pounds Of cocoanut
husks. The ground article, which sells foi
less than the pure and unground, needs nc
test to prove 1t spurious. Usually when
he demanded pure article and called upon
flrst.class grocer for 1t he got 1t.
Considerable space is given In the report
to the operation Of laws at home and
abroad relating to the adulteration Of food
while the methods Of detection, both popu
lar and scientific, are treated exhaustively

THE NEW IRON FOUNDRY.
Work to Begin as Soon as the Plans
nenIIel ITnnn.

Work to Begin as Soon as the Plans
are Decided Upon.
Secretary Whitney is considering the plans
submitted by the board appointed to ascer-
tain the amount OF plant required to equip
the Washington navy yard as an ordnance
foundry. He has been in consultation with
ordnance officers, and 1t is probable that
the plans ultimately decided upon will be
made public in short time. While the
report Of the board will form the basis of
the scheme of reconstruction of the yard,
yet q considerable reduction will be made
in the expenditure proposed by it--mainly
in the direction of utilizing many of the
buildings now standing, instead Of tearing
them down and building new ones, as
recommended by the board. AS soon as
the plans are decided upon work will be
begun on the machinery and plant.
Very few of the large tools, such as
lathes and steam hammers necessary for
the finishing of heavy ordnance, can be
procured by purchase in this country, so
that 1t will be necessary for the new foun-
dry to make most Of its new tools. 1t Is
believed that two years. time will be neces.
sary for the completion Of plant large
enough to turn out the heavy calibers OF
steel ordnance, but meanwhile the foundry
will be able to handle material for guns
not exceeding six inches in caiber. Every
effort will be made to have the plant com
pleted in time to undertake the assembling
Of the heavier pieces when the deliveries o
steel begin under the new proposals.
